I figure, its the 21st century and I have no problem with a women making more then me, nor do I have problem with them paying for me or splitting stuff with me. We split the tickets and I paid for the dinner, desert, all that good stuff.

CSUF's season came to an end tonight against Georgetown. They lost their leading scorer in the 1st round matchup against USF and got slapped around pretty good by Georgetown. They lost by like 13.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Mar 22, 2005 -> 04:35 AM) Reading a previous Charles Rosen piece, the juice on Bobby Simmonds is that he's a good offensive player and could even better in that regard but he just doesn't offer much in the way of defense. Whether or not this is going to make him a fit with Pax and Skiles philosophies..... I don't know. And Larry Hughes is definitely going to get more than the MLE. He should get about 8 to 10 mill a season, since he's averaging about 20 points per game and more than 3 steals. Larry Hughes has played fantastic this year. I could see a team giving him big money, assuming he's finally figured things out. I mean the guys always been a hell of a talent, just didn't know how to play the team game. Personally I'd like Bobby Simmons because I think he'd be a good fit. However, I want the Bulls to get another low post player.

Guys, the White Sox aren't gonna be trading any of there 6 starters (McCarthy included in that list). However, there is the battle of left handed relievers (Cotts and Walker) and maybe teams have taken noticed of Walker. I'm sure a few of them would be interested in having them for the right price, especially if Kenny decides he still needs a utility player (I think they'll go with Ozuna for now). However the Sox have a lot of those guys that fit in the AAAA to Major league mode like Felix Diaz and then there is Baj whose an older AAAer who has broken out and pitched his ass off in the minors and some teams could have interest in him. The SOx have a lot of guys the Reds could be semi interested in, hell even Willie Harris. But Jon Garland isn't going to the Reds unless they are getting in a 3 way deal and somehow getting another starting pitcher and a utility guy or something along those lines. And yes, Freel would look good on the Sox. I also think Willy Mo will be a hell of a ballplayer. Too bad he signed a major league deal becuase if he didn't he'd of been in fantastic shape at this point, instead he had to rot away on the Reds for a while without being sent to the minors.

Lets just offer Bowden a Chad Cordero for Joe Borchard swap...a Fullerton fan could dream couldn't he

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 06:28 PM) My favorite bulls player. He was darn good with the Clippers...darn good. But you like him for his long blond hair...don't lie

I think we were thinking along the same lines. I edited the top to say it right below. On second thought I'm gonna flip them.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) Jugger, oh wise one. Where are you with the stats to tell us who we will miss more? :banghead

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 06:24 PM) I can tell you one thing, qwerty wouldn't be against that. Actually Pike has impressed me ever since watching him d up against Maggette. He is a solid player and a damn good shooter. I remember back when he was in his prime god could he score.

Bulls are up by 9 with 5:50 left in the 2nd quarter. Bulls are looking good offensively and shockingly have committed only a few turnovers thus far. Curry was just put in and he had 9 points in the 1st quarter (pretty much right as the quarter started).

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 06:21 PM) And who do you propose takes Kirk's shots? Pike

Gordon dosn't deserve more shots until he stops turning the ball over and plays better defense. However, I will give him credit, his defense has improved a lot the past 2 weeks.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 06:15 PM) Hinrich shot selection is not the problem. It is the fact that he misses wide open f***ing threes all the time. He usually does not just hoist shots from 15 and farther up. Have you ever seen crawford play? I am seriously asking you because the shot selection is not comparable. So many knicks fans wanted him out of there even before they got him. Plus I think Crawford did take like 50 shots a game when he was with the Bulls

QUOTE(SoxFan101 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 06:12 PM) yes Hinrich hustles but i still dont see how that makes it ok for his poor shot selection. So your saying if Crawford hustled more and shot it 50 times making only 10 it would be ok because he hustled? I don't see where you think Hinrich has poor shot selection. He's probably the most unselfish guy on the team. Yes his shooting % is lower then you like but thats because when Gordon's not on the court he's forced to put up the bad shots when time is running out.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 05:53 PM) Paul's numbers are actually solid this year considering how much time he played, only 26 mpg. Shelden Williams played almost 8 more minutes a game. If you add the extra 8 minutes of production to Davis, his numbers would be. 15.4 ppg, 9.94 rpg. Which is very solid in his own right. Does Shelden own him whenever they play? Yes. But that just happens, Sean May always plays very well against Shelden for some reason, Shelden owns Luke Schenser, and Luke does very well against Sean. You never know who is going to play well against another player, for whatever reason. If Duke is going to beat Michigan State, Redick will have to have a big game because MSU is notorious for crashing the boards very well. Shav and Shelden have a tendency to pick up quick fouls also, they have to stay away from that. MSU has to find someone to contain Redick for 20-25 points, and force others to step up. MSU didn't crash the boards in the Iowa game and thats the big reason the Hawkeyes beat them in the big ten tourney. Still I like Izzo's coaching, but in the end Duke is going to pull it out.

Oh no, I was just agreeing with you and then going on a tangent. We all know that Hinrich is my favorite player on the Bulls too. I love him, Chandler, Noc, and Deng. They all put in 100% effort. Gordon is fun to watch but not one of my favs. If you notice all the guys I like flat out play defense.

QUOTE(qwerty @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 06:01 PM) Crawford is better offensively...? Please explain why. The defense is also not comparable even though crawford is not that bad of defender. Who is the better passer and floor leader out of the two? Good lord, two players I never ever thought would be compared...Hinrich and Crawford. Crawford = ROYAL PIECE OF s***. If you were going to compare two players it would be Crawford and Curry because both are scorers and nothing more. Curry is a superior scorer though, imo, plus he's a center which is a premium.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 05:58 PM) That's because Hinrich busts his f***ing ass every night, Eddy Curry couldnt hold that claim for a week. Even when Hinrich shoots like s***, he's an asset to the club because of his defense. He's one of the best perimeter defenders in the league and is a very smart passer. Hinrich is the shiznit. Curry when not scoring doesn't offer much at this point. The key will be for him to just slowly get better. However, he is the lone low post scorer at this point. I don't know how much he'll get, but I do think Atlanta would be interested and Harrington would definately make some sense. I also think Paxson would like a pick somehow as a role player. I could see him drafting a big man at one point or another.

Eddy returns as well. With 9 points in the 1st quarter. This is a healthy bulls club. THey have some nagging injuries but hopefully they'll get nearer to 100% and like spiff said in some thread, no team is 100% at this point in the NBA season. You just got to play through it.

Well think of it this way. If Buehrle goes down for the long haul its definately Buehrle. In the case that Buehrle may miss 1 or 2 starts, I'd go with Frank because his bat when 100% and coming off a completely healthy offseason is an MVP caliber bat. However, if Buehrle is out a while the Sox lose there best pitcher and while I love Bmac, now have him and then the other questionable guys. With Thomas down, something the Sox have known about the entire offseason, they still have Gload and Everett, two very capable performers.

Happy Birthday Baj. Hopefully you get in a little more action with the big leaguers near the end of spring and then can begin doing what you did last year, getting out AAA'ers in an attempt to work your way back up to the majors. Baj is definately a class act and I'm glad he's a part of the Sox organization Have a good one

QUOTE(Cerbaho-WG @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 04:54 PM) Contusion = deep bone bruise. They vary in extermity of course, seeing as my wrist contusion made me unable to lift anything for two months. But seeing as how I am frail like the elderly, Rowand should be fine.

QUOTE(thelatinoheat_30 @ Mar 21, 2005 -> 04:40 PM) just saw on comcast that rowand was in a single A game today(to work on a hip flexor injury) and got hit by a pitch on the shoulder. he now has a contussion, dunno what that means and that's all they said on it. Contussion is basically a bruise. Hopefully everything is alright with Arow cause he's gonna be an integral part of this team.

Holy f*** its working for ya RPS..aka Maury. I don't know what I did, probably nothing, but I guess its all set now. Just tell me if you want me to change your old posts or if it doesn't matter. Good to have ya back and its gonna be even better hearing ya guys again...And its a must to have Critic on for his impressions. I remember they were f***ing HILLARIOUS.
